Version: 1.4.20.0
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: High
Marketplace package name: indiafoxtecho USS America, USS Nimitz/Ford, F-14 Tomcat (Forrestal carriers)
Context: When aircraft spawns from the carriers
Bug description:
When an aircraft carrier is selected as spawn location (“airport”) the aircraft immediately retracts the landing gear resulting:
- in an aircraft crash if the user is not in Dev Mode (plane respawns in the air)
- in aircraft being stuck on the “runway” with gear up.
Repro steps:
Selecting the F-14 Tomcat (which comes with its own Forrestal carriers) or the F-35C and trying to spawn on the following carriers:
- Indiafoxtecho USS Ford/Nimitz (all static carriers, same behavior)
- Indiafoxtecho USS America (proper aircraft would be th F-35B… same issue)
- USS Forrestal class carriers in the F-14 package
NOTE - this seems a new issue in SU2 and SU3 Beta - it was absent from the initial release and SU1.
NOTE - if the aircraft is spawned at a parking position (cold and dark) everything seems to be OK
Attachments:
F-14 Spawning on CV60 - immediately retracts landing gear when spawning (and crashes if not in dev mode)
F-14 Spawning at parking position on CV60 (“Cold and dark”) - seems OK
